Dentsu India Debuts Game-Changing Media Insights Tool
Planners can only integrate APIs (application programming interfaces) into the media analysis program they employ. They are forced to manually search through several sources for the information. Media services from Dentsu India announced the Dentsu Intelligence Dashboard (DID), a first-of-its-kind competitive media insights and intelligence solution, to address this issue. Planners and clients will be able to quickly understand the most recent competitor data and make decisions more quickly as a result. The program offers automatic data analysis of online and offline media expenditures, gross rating points (GRP), and impressions.
The Denstu Intelligence Dashboard
The DID was developed in accordance with the network’s ongoing collaborations with sources that are distributed by the industry. It is designed to compile and transform data from various media channels onto a single platform. Dentsu wants to make the process easier by providing views with its digital data, aggregated data, and automated PPT capability through this application. Moreover, it allows media planners the freedom to tailor their searches at different levels.
The system utilizes its dynamic capabilities to select sectors, categories, brands, advertisers, etc. The application also provides a comprehensive perspective of data analysis from several channels, including TV, Print, Digital, and Radio. The solution will improve Dentsu India’s capacity to provide clients with access to the most recent GRP data. This will be irrespective of the category or brand, which is important to mention.
